Abstract
We use an implicit alternating direction numerical procedure to estimate the value of a fixedβrate mortgage (FRM) with embedded default and prepayment options. The value of FRMs depends on interest rates, the house value, and mortgage maturity. Our numerical results suggest that the joint option value of prepayment and default is considerably high, even at loan origination. We extend the model to include prepayment penalties in FRM valuation. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 29:840β861, 2009

## Abstract In this paper, we consider durationβtype models and their generalizations for modeling default risk. The models are motivated by noting similarities between reliability/survival analysis and mortgage default risk. We present Bayesian modeling strategies used in reliability analysis for
On the Value of the Implicit Delivery Options Shantaram P. Hegde 'Livingston (1987) argues that the value of the quality delivery option is close to zero in perfect and frictionless markets, but he does not provide empirical estimates of this value, The findings rrported later in this study indicate
This study investigates the value of the wildcard option embedded in the American FT-SE 100 index (SEI) options. Model-based studies of S&P 100 index options show the embedded wildcard option to have significant value. By contrast, nonparametric tests on SEI options indicate that the wildcard has ve
